Shawn Lane's mellower stuff is pretty similar ("Not Again", "Get You Back" for example)Brett Garsed is pure fusion at its finestEric Johnson is quite similar to Schackinger ("City Lights" reminds me of EJ's "Manhattan")Larry Carlton is always good to learn

Yeah dude, that guy rocks. I like City Lights the most. He plays with lot of soul and technique. I recommend Guthrie Govan, he can play anything. Fusion, rock, blues, slide, country, hip hop, techno, he is a monster man.

Steffen made me think of Jimmy Herring. Jimmy's been with a number of bands; The Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jazz Is Dead, The Dead, Phil Lesh and Friends, The Allman Brothers Band, Project Z, Endangered Species, Frogwings, Widespread Panic, and his own Jimmy Herring Band. He's one of my favorites.

It took a while to find some videos of decent quality, but for better or worse, the one and only Jimmy Herring:

That was pretty awesome, some of his work reminds me of Van Halen (electriguitaristry, the song), Eric Johnson (City Lights), and then u got so many other influences like Allman Brothers, Joe Satriani, and the list goes on...but man that was great.
